On the flip side, West Australians are the luckiest commuters as TransPerth has been named the country's best city rail system for the fifth year in a row.

Canstar surveyed 6000 people and asked them to rate their rail systems in categories such as cleanliness, ticket price and safety.

Interestingly, those in Brisbane had the most expensive commute, with the average person spending $46 a week on travel. Penny pinchers would do well to move to Perth, which had an average spend of $33 weekly for train commutes.
